I have to apologise in advance for the lower quality photos on my blog over the next several posts.  Scott’s studio is unable to be used for photography for the next few weeks, so I have to take pics of my layouts with my iphone, but it’s better than nothing!
This layout is about not wanting to get out of the pool during our Staycation in Dartmouth last weekend.  The title speaks for itself, so I didn’t do any journalling, other than the date and place.  I kind of like it when a picture and title tell the story without the need for extra words.
I used the block Party kit from Studio Calico and my stash for this one

I love the Journal font of Thickers, and just discovered this colour, called Nutmeg!  I LOVE it!

There was a ball of tangled thread in my drawer, and it reminded me of Wilna Furstenberg and Anne Marie Wolniak’s style, so I put it on my layout for fun and texture

I am in love with the colour of these Twine and Ink labels from the SC kit

I couldn’t throw away the trimmed off bit of label, so I put it down here!

I’m loving all the number lines I’m seeing in scrappy products these days!

Mercy Tiara

Mercy Tiara

You may be wondering who is Mercy Tiara, and why the name? MercyTiara is an anagram of my first and middle names, Tracy Marie. I discovered this name in the 90's in grad school when we were all coming up with alter egos for one another in a lab one day. I've used it ever since, but you can call me Tracy or MercyTiara, or anything you want... just don't call me late for supper!
